This case is my favourite case for the iPhone 3G. As a case it does it’s job of protecting the phone. It’s a very decent case, but I’m not going to focus on that (pardon the pun).

It’s got one very useful feature, a macro lens. This lens lets you slide it on/off the iPhone camera eye. In my line of work I find myself snapping pics of error messages, UPC codes, serial numbers on top of hardware or small text on a piece of paper. I don’t always carry a camera with me but I do have my iPhone with me all the time. Without the macro lens, whenever I take a pic up close, it comes out blurry. Not anymore.

Here are some side-by-side pics I took with and without the macro lens. It’s very obvious which is which.

As you can see, it’s night and day when it comes to how much clearer the images are with a macro lens. When you need to take a close-up pic, the iPhone can’t focus it properly to give you a sharp image. With the Griffin Clarifi case, I can take some really nice pics.

It works fantastic with the Evernote app. Take a picture of a business card, and Evernote will OCR the text for easy searching. A must buy!
